I haven't heard this one from my collection for quite some time (~3 years) and decided to give it a spin. I forget how realistic sounding this CD is, esp with my new hardware. This is one of those CD's that does not require a lot of power or big speakers to sound realistic.
The recording is pretty darn good for a 1959 recording, or a modern day one at that. I'm not sure if it has been remastered as it is not readily apperent on the cover notes or liner notes. It does have a 1997 SONY manufacter date on it.
Blue Rondo A La Turk sounds wonderful.
Take Five, the meal piece of this CD.. The drum solo with the snare is too real sounding with so much presence. The separtion with the Piano and Sax really gives the illusion that the performers are in front of you. You can hear the subtle splanking of the Double bass that further adds depth to the illusion :T
Apperently this CD is available in SACD, however I'm so happy with my original one, I don't see a need to get the newer version of it, however I would like to hear (or about) the SACD version regardless :B
Anyone have it in the newer formats?
